Hello everyone! I have lurked for a couple years but this is my first post. For the past 5 years my husband and I have built up our garden to 15 hundred sq/ft beds. Half are double dug to 3 feet and the others were started by chicken tractor and have never been tilled. We have focused on growing as much of our own food as possible. In the past 6 months I have started selling spices and dried herbs to local restaurants. I have about 60 customers that I see on a regular basis. As I have gotten to know the chefs, many have inquired about fresh herbs. This opportunity intrigued me because I already travel to these places on a weekly basis so I won't have to go out of my way to make sales. My plan now is to have a section of the van designated to fresh and specialty products to help chefs come up with nightly specials. In the garden I'm planing to the usual basil, cilantro, thyme, oregano, with mix of medicinal herbs and flowers for 10 beds. I have not yet decided how I will lay them out in the garden or how I will store them before I sell them. I know there're many other things that I have not yet thought through. I would love to hear any thoughts or suggestions from you! :) |

Ask the chefs what they would use the most of and plant those. Basil, for all the "caprese" things, is wildly popular. |

It's still a good game -- lovely, and a little tired. But these days, even a favorite old dog like UT needs to learn more than a few new tricks.
From the sheer number of maps to the entertaining gameplay modes and overall presentation, Unreal Tournament 3 is a winner.
With little additions to the franchise, a decent but not mammoth amount of maps, and some pretty standard gametypes saved by Warfare (that I'm not even so keen on) it's only the extension to the Single Player Campaign that saves the score from being considered little more than an expansion pack.
UT3 is visually stunning and the action is non-stop. It's hard to find much to seriously complain about once you drop in and start annihilating opponents in the huge number of high-quality maps with awesome vehicles and a variety of decent play modes. Epic doesn't reinvent the wheel here, but it does give players a fresh update on a classic old-school design that will keep you fragging long into the night.
Irrespective of talent, taste, spare time or even online connectivity, it has something for anyone with even a tingle in their trigger finger. [Jan 2008, p.78]
Drop into servers, start killing people, it's so natural to habitual gamers these days that it's hard to quantify how familiar and welcome these experiences are. With the sheer range of death-mongering that UT3 provides, it's hard not to get into the spirit of things. So yeah, Unreal Tournament pretty much remains The Daddy: consistent, meaty, and just weird enough to survive.
UT3 is quick, fun, violent, and positively a blast to play, despite a couple minor shortcomings.
Thankfully, the new weapons and vehicles really mask most of the sameness, and the massively complex levels are easily the best of any in the genre. Even after hours and hours of gameplay I can still get lost in them.
The game excels at everything from simple deathmatching to complex objective-driven campaigns. [Dec 2007, p.154]
When I first began my review of UT3, I was very excited by all of it: the new graphics, the little changes that they had made to Onslaught, the inclusion of the personal hoverboard. The more I've played it however the more like UT2k4 it plays, and I'm left wondering what we were waiting over three and a half years for.
It's hard to really judge a game that hands its users a comprehensive modding kit. Because in six months, many of my complaints may be completely nullified by the modding community. Out of the box, however, Unreal Tournament 3 is a mediocre presentation, and brings little new to the table.
The high system requirements might turn some people off, but something has to power the jaw-dropping graphics and highly detailed environments. The new version of Unreal Tournament has a few things that long time players will need to get used to, but the one thing that hasn't changed is incredibly fast-paced and addictive action.
So here's the real question: Does UT3 live up to high bar set by its prestigious predecessors? On a gameplay level, absolutely but on a visual level, it doesn't leave as lasting an impression. If you were a fan of the previous games, particularly the first Unreal Tournament, then UT3 is a definite must-buy.
If you're a fan of the Unreal series and have a computer that can run it, there's really no reason for you not to own this game.
It may be a little too hardcore for some people, but you won't find a better online shooter. [Jan 2007, p.66]
Epic's latest beauty was designed for the online world and that's where it belongs, so make sure you take it there – the likelihood is that you won't regret it. [Jan 2008, p.120]
Unreal Tournament 3 doesn't make huge changes to the formula, but still ends up feeling fresh, fast, and very fun.
If you're a longtime Unreal Tournament, fan, you'll find plenty to like in UT3 -- just keep in mind it's not the instant classic its predecessor was. With any luck, that will be remedied with the next UT release -- hopefully we won't have to wait another three years for it.
No character classes, no terrorists, no Second World-War, no AK-47 and no rewards. Do we want to play that? Oh yes! Once you launch the game and join a match, you simply can't stop playing.
Messing around with UT3 made me realize that I kind of miss this deliberate throwback to super-fast multiplayer.
If you have no friends and no broadband connection then UT III will be a snore. When twitching out against opponents around the globe it can be as addictive, and deep, as video games come.
The gameplay isn't perfect, as the bits of story elements aren't terribly well-developed and the bot AI in the single player campaign is spotty, but the game still does a fine job of being a compelling and frantic online shooter.
Vanilla Deathmatch, kick-ass graphics, and Warfare just aren't going to cut it, even if it comes from the people who brought you "Gears of War."
The quality design will give this the staying power it needs, as long as the community is there to support it.
If you've been playing the series all along, expect the same sort of thing only with a sparkling graphical luster. If you've never played this game before, do so immediately. It's still one of the best shooters on the market, even if it seems to be bumping against the boundaries of its potential.
Ultimately it's shiny, it's new and it's a majorly streamlined edition of a much-played online game. The esoteric game modes are gone and there are considerably less maps, but those that there are are generally of the highest standard.
It may not be so much a stride than a baby step for the series, but Unreal Tournament III still manages to provide a solid return for pure hectic multiplayer entertainment.
Expect no surprises, but do expect a polished multiplayer shooter and the perfect basis for some memorable matches. [Jan 2008, p.62]
Those of you still playing UT2K4 won't find many core gameplay changes in UT3; the advancces here are primarily aesthetic. [Feb 2008, p.66]
This is UT3's contribution to the formula: spectacle, drama, mad heroics. Hurling yourself on the enemy Orb like it's a live grenade, dodging bullets on the hoverboard as you escape with the flag, bailing from an explosive bike aimed at the enemy's star player, and yeah, hanging from a flying metal octopus. That's why it's essential, even in spite of the AI shortcomings.
UT3 has all the elements of a solid, well-executed deathmatch multiplayer game, with a passable singleplayer campaign and some vehicle modes bolted on. [Jan 2008, p.41]
Its single-player campaign may be weak and forgettable, but its true genius lies in the untouchable quality of its firefights, its splendiferous visuals, diverse level design, massive attention to detail and downright awesome vehicles and weapons. [Jan 2008, p.60]
Super-fast fun. New engine makes the shooting look absolutely amazing and some balance fine-tuning fix the few things that didn't work in the 2004 version. The new hoverboard especially is a great addition; with it you can zip back to the action in seconds and there is no boring downtime anymore. [Dec 2007]
This game is pure, unadulterated, ultra-violent fun, and should perhaps be compulsory for anyone who needs a bit of stress relief in their life, or have an urge to shoot aliens for no other reason than because they can.
If you like to play online against other players, but without the hassle of learning team tactics, then Unreal Tournament III is one of your safest bets.
The game's A-ticket attractions are the massive, ornate battlegrounds where opponents compete in objective-based clashes. Gorgeous alien landscapes play host to massive turf battles between factions vying for power nodes. These mêlées come stocked with a mind-boggling variety of weapons and vehicles, greatly reducing the rinse, lather, repeat burnout that comes in online shooters with less to do and smaller places to do it.
It's still worth buying UT3, for those who enjoy modding and hacking. For everyone else: there have been far better PC games this season.
UT3 really is a stunning-looking game that's only really surpassed in terms of visuals by recent PC-killer Crysis.
It may not be as revolutionary as some may have hoped, but UT3 continues to deliver that little extra something with which FPS aficionados can test their reflexes.
It's a fast-paced online deathmatch game with few bells and fewer whistles, featuring essentially the same weapon lineup it's had for ten years.
A fine shooter with multitude of game modes and maps, just not quite as polished as "Team Fortress 2."

NIZAMABAD: Though the land acquisition process has not yet been completed, irrigation department authorities are preparing to ground tunnel works of the Pranahita-Chevella lift irrigation project. The digging of 33-kilometre stretch tunnel of the biggest lift irrigation projects will begin in the month of January.
Irrigation officials claimed that except acquisition of 70 acres land in Amrad village of Navipet mandal, the entire process was completed. Fund crunch is also another major obstacle before the department to go ahead with project works.
Source said land owners of Amrad village were refusing to give up their land due to meagre compensation offered by the government.While the land owners are demanding Rs 5 lakh compensation per acre, the government is ready to give a meagre amount of Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakh per acre. Moreover, only Rs 88 crore has been released so far as against Rs 3,181 crore estimated for three packages in the district.

Sunday was the day of reckoning for CEOs who have failed to meet lofty expectations. On the same day that the Obama administration in the U.S. ousted GM CEO and Chairman Rick Wagoner, the board of French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen fired CEO Christian Streiff.
"The board unanimously judged that the exceptional difficulties faced by the auto industry imposed a change of management," said Chairman Thierry Peugeot.
Streiff will be replaced by Philippe Varin, who worked for French aluminum producer for 25 years before heading over to steel group Corus, which he helped recover from a period of losses. Varin will begin working for Peugeot on June 1st; board member Roland Vardanega will act as CEO in the interim.
"I am convinced that under Philippe Varin's leadership, the PSA Peugeot Citroen group will be able... to reveal all its potential," said the chairman.
Streiff defended his actions as CEO, saying that his policies - including cost-cutting, inventory reductions, and several new model launches - had allowed the group to be "well-equipped to face the crisis."
"The economic and financial community hailed these results. Thus I cannot understand the board's decision," he said.
Streiff was hospitalized in May 2008, and many analysts have speculated that his health was the source of confusion over Peugeot's uncertain plans for dealing with the economic crisis.

Canon General / Re: Crop factor for macros
« on: June 08, 2012, 10:28:27 PM »
But between the aperture lost from the extension tube, and the aperture lost from closing down the lens, you're sacrificing a good bit of light which would have been helpful to take the picture. Macro is one of those times you can never have enough light. Plus, it's nice to shoot wide-open or nearly so when going macro - depending on the lens some have nicer OOF highlights wide open.

Over its three seasons, Arrow has brought on many actors who previously starred in the Starz TV series Spartacus. These names include Manu Bennett and more. Now, from the Roman Empire to Central City, The Flash has hired the man that played Spartacus to bring life to this villain from the comics.
The name of the DC Comics supervillain Captain Boomerang may seem pretty silly, but it doesn't sound like audiences will be laughing when they see him invade Starling City in the upcoming season of Arrow. New reports have confirmed not only the character will be showing up in Season 3, but also who will be playing him.
Syfy's making a bit of room for swords, sandals and a lot of bloody action. The network announced today that they've acquired the basic cable rights to all 39 episodes of the Spartacus series, which originally aired on Starz.
2013 has been a great year for television, so narrowing down our list of favorites was no easy task. As TV Blend has numerous writers with varying tastes in TV shows, we decided to go solo this year in sharing our Top 5 lists of the best series of 2013. This is Kellys list, which begins with the long-awaited fourth season of Arrested Development at #5
Those who have been paying attention to the name-drops on Arrow know that it was only a matter of time before one or more of the al Ghuls, a family intimately and often involved in fellow DC superhero Bruce Wayne/Batmans life, showed up in Starling City. Well, The CWs superhero series has recently cast an al Ghul. Not Ras. Nope, not Talia either. Yes, there are more.
Its hard to believe that Starzs hit series Spartacus is officially over. For three seasons and a prequel, we got to know the violent life and innate drive of a former gladiator named Spartacus and his band of rebels. After an epic finale episode, the series may be over, but fans will be able to relive the drama for years to come on Blu-ray and DVD. With the help of Starz and Anchor Bay Home Entertainment, were giving away one Blu-ray copy of Spartacus: War of the Damned, as well as a Spartacus novel and a pretty sweet t-shirt.
Spartacus: War of the Damned ended back in April on Starz, rounding out the dramas final installation. Fans of the series will be pleased to note that Starz and Anchor Bay Home Entertainment will be hitting Blu-ray and DVD on September 3 in a set that will be jam-packed with bonus features. One of those extras is a fitting homage to the series, which features the cast members talking about all of the things they have missed.
Spartacus: War of the Damned is hitting Blu-ray and DVD on September 3, in a set that promises to be as jam-packed with action as it is with nudity. War of the Damned is actually the final installment in the Spartacus series, and if you are familiar at all with the Roman tale, you already know that the rebellion has gone on a long and twisted journey and in Season 3, the group meets a formidable foe.
I doubt I'm alone in hoping for good news for Steven S. DeKnight's sci-fi project Incursion. With Spartacus: War of the Damned wrapped up, those of us who enjoyed DeKnight's creative and dramatic take on the gladiator's story are surely eager to see what the writer does next. We learned last year that Incursion was in the works, and the latest update is that the writers room is closing up shop on the project, but from the sound of it, that's not actually bad news.
Starz made the wise choice to debut their new series Da Vinci's Demons immediately following the series finale of their popular historical fantasy drama Spartacus: War of the Damned, and based on the numbers from this weekend, it paid off for the pay cable channel in the ratings.
MAJOR SPOILERS if you haven't watched the series finale of Spartacus: War of the Damned! We expected a giant battle, and by the gods, we got one. The episode didn't waste a whole lot of time with set-up, though there were a couple of things set in motion from the start. The episode began with a nod to Kubrick's film and the classic line, "I am Spartacus!" spoken by Spartacus' men, and the man himself, whose real name we'll never know.
Throughout its three-season (plus prequel) run, Spartacus has featured some amazing characters with amazing stories and some especially memorable death scenes. In a series as violent and dramatic as this one, death is a near certainty. It's just a matter of when and how. We might go as far as to say that Steven DeKnight's drama has redefined how to write off a character in spectacularly bloody fashion. No one was ever truly safe from carnage on this series.
Following up on a devastating episode (Separate Paths"), last Friday night left us with a catch-up night featuring encore airings of previous episodes. That may have broken some of the momentum from the major ending of "Separate Paths" to what's ahead in "The Dead and the Dying," but I doubt we'll feel much of that when things get going on Friday night.
Major spoilers if you haven't seen tonight's episode of Spartacus: War of the Damned ("Separate Paths"). Was the ending of "Separate Paths" especially surprising? No, not really. The installment being one of only three episodes left in the series and a bloody war growing ever bloodier, deaths were inevitable and it was only a matter of time before we lost someone major. But that didn't make tonight's final moments any less devastating. Given the events of the episode, I can't say I'll be disappointed to see Tiberius die bloody before all is said and done.
If you're a Comcast subscriber and you've been daydreaming of doing nothing by lounging around watching television for a full week straight, next week would be the week to do it. Comcast is offering Xfinity TV customers a virtual buffet of TV content with what they refer to as "the biggest-ever TV catch-up." This TV Watchathon will offer Comcast subscribers thousands of episodes of current TV shows, including premium cable series. Want to get caught up Game of Thrones before the fantasy-drama series returns for Season 3? This would be the week to do it.

New hot pics:
New hot pics:
one totally hot boy
It seems he was going commando for this performance
Here are some hot pics of JT
Those pics arent fake
fake, but dude i would love to lick it clean
Justin is sooo hott
oh PUHLEEZEE! That lookalike has been bouncing around the internet for years. Doesn't mean i wouldn't do him, but it is definitely NOT Bimberlake
The cum shot is a total fake yeah, but the best ive ever seen had my fair share of wanks imaging that the juicy cock is really the man's himslef hmm.......i feel another may be needed...
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that his "Best Friend' Trace lives with him at home. Isn't that special? My gaydar is turning blue, for Bi-Sexual! Three years of random hook ups with Cameron yet he lives with his boy
I found this yesterday. .yummy
By chance, I happened to be shopping at a Best Buy in South Jersey today and JT was doing a promo for a local radio station promoting his show in Philly. I was about 3 feet away from him as he walked by. I hate to disappoint you JT fans but the guy is NOTHING SPECIAL in person. VERY skinny and not terribly clean looking. He seemed to have a real pissy attitude too. Fans were lined up to meet and greet him. I watched from about 5 feet away. He couldn't give a rats ass about the fans. He just kept scribbling his name on CDs and didn't really talk to anyone and no one was allowed to take photos. He was there for about 30 minutes and left without acknowledging the fans or anyone. The guy is a total shit in person.
I heard on the radio that he was gonna be here in Jersey today. It's not hard to believe he would act like that.
I'm sorry...
"Bet It Sucks To See My Face Everywhere..."
BOOOOO!!! i personally never thought justin was all that, but i actually woulda thought he'd be more gracious with his fans.. i mean i'm sure celebs get tired of making those kinds of appearances all the time, (at least i know i would), but i feel sorry for the kids who got all excited about seeing him and stood in line just to hafta see him act like a diva...
Who cares. Hes hot and thats all that matters to me. Did anyone bother to think maybe he was just having a bad day or something? I mean he is a person too.
See and this is my thing, I DONT CARE IF SOMEONE IS HOT if someone is an ass they are an ass. Looks dont score points in my bedroom.
thank god
Thats exactly how i thought he'd be, he's a bitchy bullshitter, not just his person, but is voice is awful - too high for my taste, and he's ugly.
When i heard him say some shit about taylor hicks, i was thinking id take taylor over you any day MATE! lmao.
Quite the opposite thing happened to me when I met Matt Dillon, he could not have been more gracious. Let me tell you, those eyes of his will melt you away
What if he's tired? There are a lot of celebrities who are known to be bitchy but when asked by others, apparently they were nicer and they just had a bad day.
My marriage can't be used to kill a whole high school full of kids. Register your freaking guns. - Jasun
What a cunt.
I could honestly care less about how he acts in public. I mean, I don't listen to his music just so I can run into him and be blown away by his amazing personality that he maintains 24/7 while signing a hundred autographs in a Best Buy in South Jersey.
I think his music is catchy. And he's really hot. Who care's if he's a bitch.
Who cares if he's having a bad day! When he's out doing an appearance he is ON THE JOB. When you're on the job, you leave your personal problems at home.
He sounds like one of those immature celebrities who believes his own publicity. I hope he's smart enough to know that fame is very fleeting in his business. Someone with his limited range is not apt to have a really long career in the music business, at least on the performing side. Hopefully he's branching out now in preparation for the day when his name will be showing up in all the WEHT threads on chat boards the world over. And that day will be here much sooner than later.

having a bad day?! the guy is a millionaire and still on the A list. spare me the bad day shit. my days should be so bad!
Did anyone read the article/interview with him in last months GQ? He was basically a little BITCH! He said he hates all the screaming fans. Well honey you'd better grab the 15 minutes of fame while you can.
I heard his new song today on the radio, I had to change the channel. I think it is the worst song I heard all year. It was like nails on a chalkboard.
exactly.. i never thought he was 'hot' and didn't really like him until i saw him the past few years in tv interviews and kinda got the impression that he was a sweet guy.. like when he showed up on 'ellen' during xmas a couple years ago dressed in the gingerbread man outfit and did his little 'ginge' dance, i almost wet myself over his cuteness.. i thought it was cool that he wasn't afraid to be a good sport and act silly for his fans.. so his personality was the one thing about him that won me over.. he obviously knows how to behave for his tv interviews so i don't feel sorry for him if he's having a bad day, i feel sorry for the kids who spent sleepless hours thinking about what they'd wear, fixing their hair, and standing in line just to get a few minutes with him. we all have bad days, but he could 'fake it' for just a couple hours to give the fans who adore him a day they'd always remember..
I saw him tonight in DC and he seemed really cool and looked like he enjoyed being there in concert.
nice nice very nice
oh my fucking god i would suck just all day long until i needed a throat surgery
Rumors from around the Naval Air Station near his home in TN is that contrary to popular belief on this site is that he has an unusually small dick and tiny nuts
His body, dont care to much for his face. Who cares if his dick is small, I still love that hot body.
I don't like his looks at all
He is too much like a bean pole
I really dislike his music
Is he still doing the dating/living thing with Cameron Diaz. Just curious!
Nothing. He's pretty ugly!

Is there another JS function that I can use to force a time delay without having the code continue to run? I'm using the setTimeout() function but the call to this function doesn't stop the code flow. I need to stop the code flow while waiting. I guess I need a Sleep() type of JS function.
What I'm trying to do is display some blank text on the screen using a for loop (I'm using <BR> to give the appearance of "opening up" a vertical window section in the browser) and I need this 'text' to complete before allowing the following code in the function to execute. The following code will display a Table with rows of data. I'm trying to use a timing function to give a visual impression of a window opening up just before the data displays.

There is no sleep() method in Javascript. The following is a horrible work-around kludge which charges the CPU 100% and freezes all the other Javascripts on the page.
A much better way is to use setTimeout() to create a delay:-Code:<input type = "text" name = "txt1" onblur = "snooze(5)"> <script type = "text/javascript"> function snooze(naptime){ naptime = naptime * 1000; var sleeping = true; var now = new Date(); var alarm; var startingMSeconds = now.getTime(); // alert("starting nap at timestamp: " + startingMSeconds + "\nWill sleep for: " + naptime + " ms"); while(sleeping){ alarm = new Date(); alarmMSeconds = alarm.getTime(); if (alarmMSeconds - startingMSeconds > naptime){sleeping = false} } alert ("Wake Up!"); } </script>

BATON ROUGE, La (FOX44) - Over 500 foreclosed homes in Baton Rouge have been sold by the Sheriff's Department over the last two weeks.
The first sale of a foreclosed home in Baton Rouge happened on July 12th.
Since then, a total of 5 hundred and 8 homes have been sold.
The total number of homes that have been seized in 2011 so far is just over a thousand.
Last year the Sheriff seized just under 3 thousand homes, only 8 hundred and 10 were actually sold.
Corelogic reports that foreclosure rates in Baton Rouge have gone up since last year.
However the Capitol City is far below the national foreclosure rate.
And that rate is also lower than other major cities in Louisiana.

By ABC News' Michael Rothman:
Pierce Brosnan's daughter Charlotte has died after a three-year battle with the same disease that also claimed her mother's life more than 20 years ago.
"Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity," Brosnan told ABC News in a statement. "Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl."
Charlotte, 41, died in London on June 28 from ovarian cancer. Brosnan's former wife and Charlotte's mother, Cassandra Harris, whom he married in 1980, died of the disease in 1991.
Brosnan adopted Charlotte after her father died in 1986.
In her final hours, Charlotte was surrounded by her husband Alex, children Isabella, 14, and Lucas, 8, and brothers Christopher and Sean.
After losing another loved one to ovarian cancer, Brosnan said that he was looking to the future and a possible cure.
"We pray for her [Charlotte] and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon," he said. "We thank everyone for their heartfelt condolences."

In vs. off (line)--A "Fight" to the Finish
April 2000"The ability to cut, fold, glue and personalize in-line [Quebecor World Direct also runs more than 25 in-line systems] has proved to be very profitable for us," Barthen adds. "But, it's the flexibility of off-line that represents the major boom in our business. The ability to get to the end customer at the last minute through personalization is one of the major advantages of off-line—its enormous flexibility."
Quebecor World Direct runs three off-line systems, which provide the entire gamut of finishing capabilities. "Everything you can imagine...folding, cutting, stacking, perfing, diecutting, gluing, imaging, personalization," says Dwaine Kin- derknecht, vice president and division manager, noting that Quebecor World Direct has "the most high-tech off-line systems in the world: double-web off-lines, with up to 76˝ between two webs, and multiple, dual-cutoff capabilities."
Kinderknecht says in-line finishing gives Quebecor World Direct the ability to finish, personalize and go direct to mail—all in one, in-line process and at full press speed.
Cost-saving Difference
The major difference between running an in-line and off-line system, notes Kinderknecht, is the cost savings. "In-line is fairly costly to set up. It may take eight to 10 hours on the full blown in-line process, but there is a shorter makeready on the incremental runs using off-line." Thus, the cost of the initial makeready of the press run is offset by the shorter and less expensive makereadies off-line, says Barthen.
"Off-line provides the advantage of quicker makereadies, because there is no downtime waiting for the press line and its makereadies, which are more time-consuming and costly," adds Kinderknecht. "With off-line, you have the advantage of not having to worry about the printing or the expensive downtime of the press. And considering that the press is the major capital expenditure, it's also the one that is most costly when sitting idle."
However, Kinderknecht warns that one of the drawbacks of off-line finishing is trying to determine the right amount of press impressions for off-line makereadies and not having too much waste or too little product.
"You'll print the total quantity on-press, and each time the job goes off-line, you experience makeready waste. If you go off-line several times, and you haven't calculated enough overproduct, you'll be short on product due to makeready waste," says Barthen. "You don't want to find out that you're short and then have to go back on-press."
"With in-line, you don't have to run additional product; there's no off-line setup, so there's no additional waste factor," explains John Trentman, engineering manager at RRD Direct—another major user of both in-line and off-line finishing systems. "Whereas with off-line, you're generating more waste because you have to produce overruns to make sure you have enough product in the end, after the off-line makereadies.
"You always need overruns, and there's not the overrun issue with in-line," Trentman continues. "But there is also higher waste in makeready when running in-line."
Another attribute of running in-line, according to Trentman, "Once you're up and running, you come up with a product that goes directly into the mail or into a lettershop to be inserted into an envelope. There are no delays with in-line."
Whereas with off-line, the operation is roll-to-roll, then to the finishing line, "so there is a delay," Trentman says, "but even with the delay, off-line is still more economical. With in-line, your press is waiting while the finishing line is being set up, or vice versa, the finishing line is waiting while the press is being set up.
"With off-line, you set the press up and as the product comes off, you put it on the finishing line, which isn't waiting for the press. It's both a makeready and cost savings," Trentman explains. "With in-line, there's a large amount of capital waiting for the other line to get set up. The finishing equipment is either waiting while the press is being set up, or the press is waiting for the finishing line. Both take time to get ready, often an average of two to five hours for either process—and that's a lot of capital being tied up."
At RRD Direct, that capital expenditure is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, invested across 17 finishing lines—11 in-line systems (several of which are dual-webs) and six off-line finishing lines. Trentman says both types of finishing lines have been customized with equipment from most major manufacturers.
"We're an equal opportunity buyer," quips Trentman. "Using various different setups, we can do just about anything. We can personalize with ink-jet, apply remoist and integrated labels, scratch-off coatings, diecuts, overprint varnishes. You name it. We have equipment that does it all. We can even bring another web in to do a wraparound product and also full bleeds."
Value-added Finishing
The finishing lines at RRD Direct are designed to produce the various value-added products needed for direct mail, Trentman notes. "We do a lot of development work to stay current in this area. Much of our equipment is proprietary and one of a kind, customized equipment. On most lines, we can run either single or dual ink-jet personalization."
All the off-lines are variable size, which according to Trentman, can be rapidly reconfigured to run a different comp size—another obvious plus to using the technology.
In the great debate between in-line and off-line, "it all evolves around the issue of time and dollars. With shorter to medium runs, it's cheaper to go off-line; it's more cost efficient to do longer runs in-line, when running in the millions," says Trentman.
As the direct mail market grows—and it's growing dramatically—Trentman says, customers will ask for additional features to be finished into their products. "At RRD Direct, we're sold on finishing lines and will continue buying both in- and off-line equipment," says Trentman. "We'll develop more in-lines for wraparound products [where the envelope is formed around the product, then it goes direct to mail] and more off-lines for additional value-added features."
Quebecor World Direct, RRD Direct and Banta have been highly successful in their in-line and off-line finishing operations. However, much of that success is not the result of providing the print customer with an either-or choice. It's not a question of in-line "vs." off-line, but rather a combination of the two.
As in any relationship, where there are two "sides," there is also the possibility of a union—an agreement or arrangement that is acceptable to both. Such "complementary arrangements" have been the basis of recent finishing success stories for printers like Quebecor World Direct, RRD Direct and Banta, which have discovered the secret of a happy "marriage" between the two technologies.
By offering in-line and off-line capabilities, Barthen says Quebecor Direct has been able to price itself strategically. "Finishing is extremely customer-driven, with multiple changes and larger amounts of product, our ability to meet those needs in-line or off-line has been a big part of our success."
Here's how the combination in-line/off-line finishing process works:
Large quantities of a product are run on-press at full press speeds, and the product is then personalized off-line, later, at subsequent mailing dates. According to Barthen, this not only allows the customer to print the best (latest) names, but the customer also gets a break on price. Because in-line jobs are based on quantity, later mail drops (where the preprinted rolls are simply updated) do not cost as much in makeready and take less time.
This happy marriage of in-line and off-line finishing systems is attracting the attention of other major web offset printers who are currently running only in-line systems. Such is the case with Livonia, MI-based Valassis Communications, where Division Plant Manager Aaron Trager says his company has been looking into the in-line/off-line finishing process.
"With in-line/off-line finishing, you rewind the product on a roll and, then, on a separate finishing line, you can finish at the speeds you need, which are slower than full press speed," Trager explains. "Such a system would allow you to do extended makeready off-line vs. tying the press up for an extended period of time," he notes.
So, in doing its background research, Valassis Communications is investigating the potential marriage of its in-line capabilities with new off-line possibilities. Trager says the firm is currently speaking with several European printers who are using in-line/off-line systems.
Likewise, Quebecor World Direct and RRD Direct claim they are creating value for their customers by investing millions of dollars in in-line and off-line finishing systems.
As a "master finisher," one that boasts some of the most high-tech in-line and off-line equipment in the world, Kinderknecht says Quebecor World Direct has an even grander plan for the future.
"We're creating a mega-facility that will offer one-stop in-line/off-line finishing—from electronic imaging, outputting of plates, to printing, to finishing, to personalization, to lettershop to inserting components and mailing it—all under one roof," he says. The new facility (already operational at the Effingham, IL, division) is adding more equipment and should be "fully operational" as a one-stop shop this summer.
So, there you have it. In the great debate over in-line vs. off-line finishing, printers like Quebecor World Direct and RRD Direct have found the secret of a successful union of the two. By marrying the two technologies, the "vs." has been taken out of the equation. By employing combined in-line/off-line finishing systems, these printers are on their way to enjoying the "happily ever after" of graphic arts success.
A Dual Perspective . . .
Objectively speaking—as a manufacturer of both in-line and off-line finishing systems—Kim Markovich, vice president of North American sales and marketing at Western Printing Machinery (WPM), says there are pros and cons inherent to using each type of system.
However, the debate over in-line vs. off-line is not simply a matter of advantages and disadvantages, Markovich cautions. It's more a matter of what a web printer is trying to accomplish, what market he's trying to capture.
"Whether a printer uses off-line or in-line finishing depends on the type of 'tricks' it wants to perform," Markovich reports, explaining that tricks include "extensive, equipment-intensive finishing applications such as diecutting pressure-sensitive labels, kiss-cuts, labeling and onserting, as well as digital or direct imaging products."
"Printing personalized names and messages takes time," he says. "Those systems don't run very fast compared to the press, so you want to do personalization off-line. Imaging speeds might be at a maximum of 1,000 fpm vs. in-line press speeds as high as 2,000 fpm or better. So why install a costly imaging system in-line? It will only hold up your press."
Since various finishing functions can slow press speeds, Markovich says the more finishing a printer does, the more he's apt to consider an off-line system.
"Simple products—those that require only simple folding, simple perfs, simple cutting, etc.—are done in-line for speed. More complex products are done off-line. When you want speed: in-line. When you want complexity, creativity, the tricks: off-line," Markovich says.
High, value-added finishing vs. speed and volume: That's the major difference between using in-line or off-line systems, he emphasizes. But describing the differences in the two technologies is not the same as pointing out the pluses and minuses.
Below, Markovich gives a thumbs-up (advantages) and thumbs-down (disadvantages) critique of the processes.
In-line: Can finish at full press speeds for high-volume products that require only simple finishing.
Off-line: More complicated finishing is done at slower speeds. However . . .
Off-line: At slower speeds, complicated finishing can be done at the appropriate speed for each finishing application.
Off-line: Personalization and other value-added products, which are used for direct mail (a booming market!), are the most complicated—but also the most profitable finishing applications.
Capital Expense
In-line: For every press, there has to be an in-line finishing system. If you have four presses, you need to have four in-line systems.
Off-line: You can have multiple presses printing roll-to-roll to supply one off-line system, so capital expense is much lower. Four in-lines vs. one off-line.
Off-line: Off-lines can be made with variable-size cutoffs, so if you have two presses and both have different cutoffs, you can finish in those cutoff sizes.
In-line: You can't do variable cutoffs unless you have a variable-size press. You have to have the line sized to match the press cutoff. However, shaftless, variable size, in-line systems are now being manufactured to match variable-size presses.
In-line: Operators are running both the presses and in-lines. One crew for each complete printing/finishing line.
Off-line: A crew is required for the press and for the off-line system. Employee base is higher than in-line.
In-line: Takes up more space; an in-line system doubles the footprint of the press.
Off-line: The system can be put in another part of the room or building, or in another building entirely.
Facility Management
Off-line: "If you have off-line, you can support it from other facilities," Markovich says. "Donnelley, Quebecor and Banta all have a central facility with off-line systems, and they feed those systems from various parts of the country. This allows them to manufacture their jobs regionally and finish their production centrally in one facility."
Traditionally, Markovich says, web offset printers run in-line finishing systems for speed, volume, automation, consistency and reduced labor costs. However, noting a recent interest in off-line finishing systems, he reports that many of the larger web printers (currently using in-line systems) are now looking at off-line possibilities.
As an example, he cites such heavy hitters as Quebecor World Direct, which runs three high-tech off-line systems, including a double web that is one of the most advanced units in the world. He says the company also recently installed a single web, off-line system. It's a variable-sized, modular system that allows for five cutoff sizes, ranging from 17˝ to 28˝.
He also makes special note of RRD Direct, which runs six off-line systems. The equipment is one of a kind and has been customized for RRD Direct's use.
Both RRD Direct and Quebecor Direct are getting the best of both worlds by combining their off-line and in-line capabilities to create in-line/off-line systems that are designed for manufacturing direct mail products. This innovative process allows large volumes of product to be run upfront in-line and, later, finished off-line with updated names and personalized information to meet targeted mail drop dates.
As the in-line/off-line trend continues to attract the attention of major printers, Markovich says he has no doubt that even more advantages will be discovered and, thus, greater advancements will be made in the finishing process overall.

Not Feeling Like Yourself?
By Leah Lund
Life is meant to be enjoyed and we are meant to feel good! But somehow, it seems for many of us, our standard of living is stuck on "good enough" or "the best we can hope for." In our fast-paced, modern culture, we suffer from Low Expectation Syndrome regarding what our life can be and the energy and mood we are capable of feeling. When did we decide that it is too much to expect to feel good all the time? We have accepted a life full of false moods, false energy, false appetite, and false weight….a false life! When my clients come to me for private coaching, they often describe it as "not feeling like themselves lately." See if your brain chemistry is behind your false moods with this Brain Chemistry Assessment.
I'm here to tell you that you don't have to settle for feeling this way. When you consistently invest in your whole health-physical, mental, emotional and spiritual you can quickly turn your hum drum mood and energy into vibrant, engaged, passionate living.
One of the fastest ways you can turn your energy around is through your food choices. Food speaks to our DNA and turns our genes on or off. Food provides the nutrients needed for our body to perform all of its necessary functions, including producing something called neurotransmitters-or brain chemicals. These are the chemicals that enable us to feel emotionally stable, self-confident, alert and energetic. Different neurotransmitters help us tolerate stress, relieve our pain, relax and enjoy pleasure. All of these feelings, which I will group together and call "good moods" can be enhanced or inhibited by what we eat, because they are all generated from the building blocks of protein called amino acids.
When necessary, supplementation can be used to turn around deficiencies in any one of the neurotransmitters. This is called Neuro Nutrient Therapy and it is one of the therapies I frequently use with my clients. In fact, Neuro Nutrient Therapy is so effective that I have begun to study with a pioneer in this field-Julia Ross. Julia is the Executive Director of Recovery Systems Clinic in San Francisco and the author of "The Mood Cure" and "The Diet Cure". I'll be interning in her clinic and reviewing my client cases with her on a regular basis.

Internet celebrity is a funny thing. You can earn it for being good at something, but more often, it comes with less desirable attributes. In Jerm's case, "celebrity" is debatable, but if you frequent any website that posts videos of snowboarding, you probably know the name. Easily the most frequent commenter on this site, it was time to see if it was just all talk. So we told Jerm, stop filming first person cooking with that GoPro and put it in the hands of the kids you are allegedly teaching — let's see this shit! But posting the Jerm edit without a little commentary wouldn't be right, so we recruited a few of those subjected to him the past to offer their thoughts on the Jerm Edit.
I'm just gonna get straight to the point here. This little movie you seem to have made is most likely blowing some peoples' minds right about now. Not only can you write a good summary on some lame edit or post witty comments, you can also do some pretty sweet maneuvers on that snowboard of yours, but you definitely could have caught the tranny just a tad bit more on that downflatdown. You're good at jumping over rails and to the ends of them, so I'm thinking you were a Track and Field kid during high school. I'm probably right. I've always gotten the "athlete" impression from you. Even though there's solid maneuvers, this edit is pretty bland, and the song doesn't really help, but the SAGA outerwear sure does! I give this a C+. There is much more room for improvement, and Jerm, you should have capitalized on it. That's all for now.
Andrew Nagel.
First off Jerm, you're not at Bear Mountain in a Transworld Sunday in the Park video, stop trying to do little wallride tappy things at the end of every rail. And I bet you rewind your stiffy at 0:36 over and over so you can get a stiffy.
that is all. — Seamus Foster.
"Ah yes, the infamous 'Jerm'. Most of the time this cyber-terrorist can be found ruthlessly scouring the online snowboarding community attempting to single-handedly shatter the hopes and dreams young snowboarders. After years of furiously working his frustrated fingers across the keyboard of hatred, Jerm finally caught a break along with a reason to take his hands out of his pants and go snowboarding. What was his motivation one might ask? Free outerwear. Free Saga outerwear. About 4 or 5 retaliation comments deep on his "Rejected Edits" write-up, Jerm replied, "Smerc youd turn down free outerwear? or are you still on that "skiing is gay" thing? its all the same and all dumb." Well, that's funny. I know plenty of snowboarders, including myself, who would rather ride naked then look like a carbon copy of every freeskier and their sister at Park City. Now I could sit and hate all day long, be a hypocrite, and not give your snowboarding any justice, but that wouldn't be fair.
First off, excellent song choice. It's very fast paced and inspiring, yet, not too distracting from the riding. I can appreciate your creativity and the desire to snowboard in an uncommon fashion, hitting features in unexpected ways. What's the term? Skate-influenced? You had some really nice presses in there for sure. I've yet to see someone press an Amplid like that. Nice work. Towards the end you did a really smooth frontside invert… just a few more inches and you would have made it to the coping, Tony. And I'm glad you gave some time for the music to play out after that last bangin' line… really had to let that one process. On the bright side, it looked like you and all your friends were having a great time riding together and that's all that matters." -Andrew Aldridge

THIS EDIT IS NOW THE MOVING WALLPAPER FOR THE BACKGROUND OF MY COMPUTER. Jerm, U kill it 24-7..
I reapetedly found my head tilted to the right, trying to keep it level. That filmer has some work to do.
Punkrock jerm would kick this jerks ass.
You guys fucking love it
i'm with rav, this is amazing and i enjoyed this edit.
I'm with Griffindor on this one. Maybe if my neck wasn't sore after watching this edit, I might like it a bit more.
yaaa jerm nice edit. killing it. fuck all these brighton faggots
Jerm has a bad case of "pussy-legs". It looks like he has to try oh so very hard to get his little body off the ground
HAHA i cant believe jerm rides rocker.what a pussy
jerm, i will give it to you: you do have one of the best shifty's ive ever seen on a rail
i love how much everyone is hating on skiing, but you all sound as fucking retarded as kids on newschoolers.com, the shithole of dumbass skiers.
Just a heads up guys "jerm" is about 26ish and is damn good at snowboarding. I have ridden with him at windells, he coaches there and he is better than every single person on this comment board. He had a video part FROM 4 YEARS AGO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Y9Cs-N2Us. This debate shouldn't really be happening, the guy doesn't care what any of you think and I can tell you right now that he is loving this outcry against him right now. Jerm accept my friend request on facebook already, I know that you read this and I know you know who this is.
^what a loser
still waiting on that friend request
Haha. I would have never posted an edit like this of myself. I dont care how high an opinion you have of yourself. Mediocre riding to shitty music. Even if the intent here was irony it was a miserable failure. Ironic videos only work if youre killing it so hard that everyone overlooks the music. Unfortunately, bumping into a couple knee high rails and dragging your tail over a knuckle doesnt qualify as impressive riding in my book. Epic fail. At least this allows the snowboarding community to take your comments with a grain of salt. You telling someone that they are bad at snowboarding is about the equivalent of a third string QB giving advice to Tom Brady. They can both play the game but sometimes maybe its better if you just sit down and shut the fuck up.
so i mean, i'm backing Jerm.
this was hip as fuck, and he's got steeze
This nigga is so bitchmade. ridin at vail and shit, hatin on people all the time. nice helmet breh. did it come with a sweet team jersey? have you ever hit a handrail or even shoveled your own spot? i just really can't look at a shit park edit and give this kid any daps. such a slap in the face to anyone that spends 2-3 hours getting a spot ready and standing around in the cold all day for a 3 second clip that you feel wasn't up to your 'park robot' standards. anyone can ride a park guy, go out and shovel a spot, make an edit on that, then send it in.
that makes me seem like an asshole, but dude. come on. rich vail kid hatin on everyone? thats been played since the early 90's.
jerm $hreds vail and wears saga.

My 6 yo wood floors are starting to look dull. They'll probably need refinishing in a few more years, but right now i'm looking for a way to brighten them up for the holidays. I use the Bona floor cleaner and am wondering if anyone has ever used the Bona hardwood refresher. If so, it isn't a product which causes a build up, is it? is there another product anyone has tried and had good results?TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've had great luck with Minwax hardwood floor restorer and my floors are 1937 oak done over 20 yrs ago. I prefer the low gloss but there is a high gloss product. |
Here you to, this product is amazing. I use it once a year on my Douglas fir floors in my lake house and they look shiny and new for a whole year. Read the reviews. |
Here is a link that might be useful: floor finish
yayagal, I have tried that product. It's just too shiny for me. Depends on the sheen the OP wants. |
Patty - our floors are 15 years old and do not need refinishing. Are you sure it is not some kind of build-up? |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Mon, Dec 23, 13 at 14:04
Thank you jays mom, yayagal, and Tina. I haven't done anything yet, but don't think I want a shiny surface as it seems to attract dust much quicker. I may use the refresher product since I already have it. Tina, no build up as I've only use Bona cleaner. I know build up since I used to use a clear product on wood floors years ago and ended up with a real mess. The dullness is everyday wear and tear from myself, grandchildren, and 3 pets. Too much of a good thing can still have it's drawbacks. ;o) |

Eminem and 50 Cent star in the new, 66-track mixtape Shady Classics. This quick-cutting compilation by DJ Whoo Kid (formerly 50 Cent's touring DJ, now Shade 45 personality) is of fan favorites from throughout the label's 15-year history, and these songs are dizzying, vulgar reminders of just how much has changed since Shady Records was formed.
In some songs, Eminem seems to be testing out flows and subject matter – in particular, America's lazy parenting – that would be fine-tuned for The Eminem Show. At one point, he actually shouts out Tower Records as he boasts of picking up the new Cypress Hill. And in "We All Die One Day," he picks on rumored ex Mariah Carey while lyrically referencing Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca."
Shady Classics arrives just two days before Eminem releases the two-disc Shady XV, which features 12 new tracks (including his Sia-featuring "Guts Over Fear") and greatest hits like 50 Cent's "In Da Club." Hear the career-spanning mixtape, as premiered by Hot New Hip Hop, below. More »

Relaxing Get Away
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful long weekend get-away in early Nov. The cabin is right on the ocean with a great deck for relaxing with a glass of wine and a book. We did have a few visits from the harbor seals, they entertained us for a few days. The cabin was comfortable and had everything one would need. There was a Hannaford grocery story nearby for all our food needs. We did have a fun afternoon shopping in nearby Rockland. Amy was a pleasure to work with to arrange our get-away. We had a great time and would rent this cabin again.
Amazing House & Location
We rented this beautiful house last weekend for our family to stay while our daughter was married in Friendship. We were blown away by the beauty of this house and location. There were ten of us and we enjoyed our time at the house very much. We made some wonderful memories and can't stop talking about it. It is very convenient to stores, restaurants and beautiful scenery. The house was well stocked and clean. It was a pleasure dealing with Vered (owner) and she made the process stress-free for the mother of the bride. Everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend this lovely place. We would like to go back sometime when we can truly enjoy the place and spend much more time there.
What a Lovely Spot
Ming, our friendly, helpful, and informative host greeted my sister and I upon our arrival at Afterglow. We got there just around dusk in time to enjoy what would be one of many breathtaking sunsets. Every evening after, we made sure we were on the deck to take advantage of the westward views and the beautiful sunsets. What a way to end the day after swimming and kayaking right from the beach in front of our cottage. A perfect week in a perfect place!

Just kidding, figured that would be an attention getter. Though Vincent Valentine was very dark to say the least. I am 17, I love Anime and RPGs. When i say anime I'm talking about stuff that isn't Childish (Ex. Naruto, Sailor moon, DBZ, you get the point) I love to collect Katanas, rare games, and tried to start collecting anime videos but no such luck. I'm pretty open to discussion so, FLOCK TO ME VILE WORMS! Just another attention getter. peace.

Where to Buy
these serve as a great light/mid insulating layer…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $80
these serve as a great light/mid insulating layer or a heavy base layer. very versatile, very comfortable, and extremely durable. if i were on a limited budget for a layering system, this would be one of the first pieces on my list because it is performs so well in so many different situations.
- good for a wide range of temperatures
- love the zip neck
- good luck trying to wear it out
- can get smelly
- expensive unless you find it on sale
i wear this shirt a lot. alone, it takes the chill out of a fall or spring hike, and i'll wear it on cooler summer nights. i use it over a thin base layer on cooler days. it's an ideal mid-layer for winter hiking alone or under a shell, and it's one of the first layers i'll think about when the bottom drops out of the thermometer.
the shirt has a little more room than a true base layer, so i have no problem with a wicking short or long sleeved t-shirt or thin insulating layer underneath. the grid fabric is soft, stretchy, and comfortable to wear. the sleeves are on the long side. i particularly like the zip neck - fully open, it really helps ventilate the shirt. zipped all the way up, it is warm but not constricting (i wear a 17 neck). there is a small flap of fleece between the top of the zipper and your skin, which is great.
the inside of the r1 fabric is fuzzy little squares in a grid pattern, the outside surface is smooth. the grids trap a good amount of air to keep you warm, and the fabric does a really good job drawing moisture out to the surface. this is not by any means windproof. while it is reasonably warm in still air, a solid breeze goes right through it. like many fleece products, it will insulate very well even if it gets wet. shake or wring out the moisture, and it 'wears dry' better than most shirts.
the fleece itself stands up to abuse very well. apart from random branches and hot coals, these last a really long time. stitching, cuffs, hem - outstanding construction. i have two of these shirts. the first one is about ten years old, the second 3 or 4 years old. both are fully functional today, though very different.
Patagonia does change things over time. the older shirt has a significantly thinner microgrid fabric, not nearly as warm as newer versions and much stretchier fabric. the new ones have a small zippered chest pocket - good for small things, positioned so it doesn't interfere with pack straps. the seams on the newer one are better-placed to avoid shoulder strap friction.
the main downside to this shirt, and most synthetic base or mid layers, is that they eventually start smelling bad after a while. if you use it a lot, the anti-odor treatments just stop working. wool definitely wins on that front, but wool shirts generally aren't as warm, wet out more, take longer to dry, and aren't as durable as this fabric.
